OEM Lip Protection

I have the OEM body kit on my 03 NBP tl-s. I love the kit. The problem is that the car has been lowered and the lip is at the right height to hit a curb when parking. I have actually hit a curb twice already. No real damage, just a scratch on the tip. How can I protect the kit? Is there some sort of tape to cover the the tip of the kit. If anyone has done so can you please post pics. Thanks, Brent.

Learn to back into spots, or learn NOT to pull in so far. Thats the Best protection.

Werd, thats all I do.

If you have some curb love on your lip, just put some touch up paint on it.

Simple fix

Order some 3M plastic from Extreme City Tint on ebay
They sell sections and complete kits- precut for your car- you install

Keeps rock chips off the car.

Also -all who drive your car must go thru training with pylons or soft objects that can be pulled right up to till the nose touches- that will still leave room for low panels from curb stops
And little blind spot mirrors on the side mirrors will prevent lane change mishaps or backed in the garage wall stories
